We present a self‐consistent crustal accretion model of Iceland that includes heat and mass transfer between an upwelling, melting mantle and an accreting, cooling crust. This models predicts sub‐solidus crustal temperatures that are consistent with seismic estimates of the maximum depth of earthquake hypocenters and mid‐crustal shear wave quality factors, and with geothermal estimates of surface heatflow.
